Who Our Removal Service Is For

Homeowners

Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing or relocating out of St Johns, we can manage your entire house move. From careful packing of fragile items to dismantling and reassembling furniture, we take the heavy lifting off your hands so you can focus on everything else involved in moving home.

Renters

If you’re moving between rented properties, we offer flexible, cost-effective removals that suit shorter notice periods and smaller loads. We work carefully around stairwells, communal areas and tight access to avoid damage and protect your deposit.

Landlords

We assist landlords with end-of-tenancy clearances, part-moves and furniture swaps between properties. We can remove old items, move in new furnishings, and help you prepare properties quickly between tenancies.

Businesses

Our office and commercial removals service covers everything from small offices to retail units and studio spaces. We move desks, stock, IT equipment and archives with attention to labelling and layout so you can get back up and running with minimal downtime.

Students

Students in and around St Johns benefit from affordable small moves. We help move boxes, suitcases, desks and beds between halls, house shares and storage, with options for shared loads to keep costs manageable.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You can contact Man with Van St Johns by phone, email or our online form. We’ll ask a few straightforward questions about your current property, destination, access and key items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote with no hidden extras, so you know exactly what to expect.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger moves, we arrange a short survey, either in person or via video call. This allows us to assess access, parking, stairways and any awkward items. Surveys help us choose the right vehicle size, number of staff, and equipment, which keeps the move efficient and reduces the risk of delays on moving day.

3. Packing & Preparation

We offer both full packing and part-packing services, as well as a transport-only option if you prefer to pack yourself. Our team uses strong boxes, wrapping paper and bubble wrap to protect delicate items, and we label boxes clearly by room. We can also dismantle beds, wardrobes and larger furniture where necessary.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our professional team arrives on time, walks through the plan with you and then starts loading. We protect furniture with blankets, use straps to secure loads, and pack the vehicle carefully to avoid movement in transit. Your belongings are then transported directly to your new property, or via storage if arranged.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new address, we place items into the rooms you choose, not just inside the door. We can reassemble furniture that we dismantled, position larger items where you want them, and remove our packing materials where agreed. Before leaving, we’ll check you’re happy with everything and that nothing has been missed.

Transparent, Fair Pricing

We know that moving can be costly, so our pricing is straightforward and explained clearly in advance. The cost of your move is usually based on:

• Volume of belongings (how much space you need in the vehicle)
• Number of movers required
• Distance between properties
• Whether packing services or materials are included
• Any special handling (pianos, very heavy or awkward items)

We provide either a fixed price for the complete job or a clearly stated hourly rate, depending on what suits your move best. There are no hidden fuel surcharges within the agreed area, and any extra costs (such as congestion or parking charges) are discussed with you in advance.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY

Hiring a professional removals company like Man with Van St Johns offers significant advantages over doing it yourself or using a casual man-and-van:

• Safety: Trained movers know how to lift and carry heavy items correctly, reducing the risk of injury.
• Protection: We use proper equipment and packing methods to protect furniture and property.
• Efficiency: Experienced teams load and unload faster and plan the move logically.
• Reliability: Confirmed booking times, written quotes and proper vehicles.
• Insurance: Your belongings are covered, which informal services often cannot offer.

For many people, the small saving of a DIY move is outweighed by the time, stress and potential damage. A professional team helps your move run smoothly from start to finish.

Insurance & Professional Standards

We take the responsibility of handling your belongings seriously. Man with Van St Johns is fully insured and operates to high professional standards:

• Goods in transit insurance – protecting your items while they are being moved.
• Public liability cover – in case of accidental damage to property or third parties during the move.
• Trained moving teams – regular practice in lifting, carrying, packing and securing loads.

We keep accurate job records, use well-maintained vehicles and arrive with the right equipment to carry out your move safely and efficiently.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Every move is treated as if it were our own belongings being transported. We take care to avoid scuffs and scrapes to walls, doors and floors, and we use protective covers and blankets for delicate items and key areas of your property.

We also aim to work in a more sustainable way where possible by:

• Reusing and recycling sturdy packing materials
• Encouraging customers to return boxes for reuse where practical
• Planning routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage

These small steps help reduce waste and environmental impact, while still ensuring that your belongings are well protected.

For businesses, we plan moves around your working hours where possible, including evenings or weekends by arrangement. We label desks and equipment clearly so that everything ends up in the right place at the new premises, helping you get back to work quickly.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a removal company in St Johns cost?

The cost depends on the size of your move, access, distance and whether you need packing services. Smaller local moves might be priced on an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, while full house or office relocations are usually quoted as a fixed price. Once we understand what needs moving and from where to where, we provide a clear, written quote with no hidden extras. Contact us with a rough inventory and dates, and we’ll give you an accurate estimate for your specific move.

Can you help with same-day or urgent removals?

Yes, where our schedule allows, we can provide same-day or short-notice removals in St Johns and nearby areas. Availability depends on existing bookings, vehicle size required and how far you’re moving. It’s best to call us as early as possible so we can check our diary and advise what we can realistically do. Even with urgent moves, we still work methodically and safely – we won’t cut corners on protection or loading, but we will move quickly and efficiently for you.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. We carry goods in transit insurance that covers your belongings while they are being transported, and public liability insurance for any accidental damage to property or third parties during the move. This provides reassurance that, in the unlikely event something goes wrong, you are properly protected. We’ll explain the levels of cover included when you book, and we always encourage customers to highlight particularly high-value or fragile items in advance so we can give them extra attention and use appropriate packing.

What’s included in your removals service?

Our standard service includes a vehicle of suitable size, a trained removals team, loading at your current address, safe transport and unloading at your new property. We place items in the rooms you choose and can dismantle and reassemble basic furniture if agreed in advance. Optional extras include full or part packing, supply of packing materials and short-term storage. What’s included will be listed clearly on your quote, so you know exactly what to expect on moving day and can add or remove services to suit your budget and needs.

How is a professional removals service different from a basic man-and-van?

A casual man-and-van may suit very small, simple moves, but often lacks the insurance, equipment and manpower needed for larger or more complex jobs. As a professional removals company, we provide written quotes, proper goods in transit and public liability cover, trained teams and suitable vehicles. We also plan your move, protect furniture and property, and stick to agreed timings. This results in fewer breakages, less stress and a smoother overall experience, especially for full home or office relocations where reliability is crucial.

How far in advance should I book my removal in St Johns?

Ideally, you should book as soon as you have a confirmed moving date – for most people, that’s around two to four weeks in advance. This gives us time to arrange surveys, parking and any packing services you need. Peak times such as Fridays, month-end and school holidays can get busy, so earlier booking helps secure your preferred slot. That said, we do our best to accommodate last-minute moves whenever we have availability, so it’s always worth contacting us even if your date is very close.
